The Old Forge is a grade two listed home set back and screened from the road by mature hedging. As previously mentioned the property in recent years has undergone extensive improvements. The kitchen and bathrooms have been completely re-modelled. The central heating boiler is approximately 3 years old along with a new pressurised water cylinder. All radiators have been replaced many with Victorian style.
Externally, the Forge building offers a variety of possible uses. Planning permission was granted in December 2019 for full conversion to a self-contained annexe which included an extension. This permission has recently lapsed, however, we see no reason why this wouldn't be re-newed by Maldon District Council. Any interested party would need to make their own enquiries.
